A first visit starts with a detailed conversation. Yang Yang may ask about the main concern, how long it has been present, age, previous injuries or operations, current medicines and supplements, and any relevant medical reports. Pulse assessment and other TCM observations may also form part of the consultation.
What to know before your visit
- Bring relevant Western medical reports or test results if you have them.
- Bring a current list or clear photos of medicines, supplements and health products you take.
- Tell the clinic if you are pregnant, have had surgery, or have important ongoing medical conditions.
- Allow more time for a first visit: the consultation and pulse assessment commonly take about 15–20 minutes; if treatment is carried out, total time may be around 40–70 minutes depending on the individual.
First consultation: S$28 · Follow-up consultation: S$12. Treatment, products and medicine are charged separately according to what is recommended and used.
Care and suitability
TCM services are not one-size-fits-all. The practitioner may recommend a different approach, a combination of approaches, or conventional medical review depending on the information discussed and any safety concerns.
For severe, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, major bleeding, stroke-like symptoms or other emergencies, call 995 or seek urgent conventional medical care.
